The possibility of BATO's PC version with low solution output
Use VGA port and color monitor RGBS connection, use old-fashioned TV
Has anyone tried it?
Enjoy the 240P with a vintage TV and feel back to childhood.
If anyone is successful, you can introduce how to operate

lyon00 You might want to look up RGBuntu, or maybe mme4crt.. I was able to run Bato on a VGA CRT Pc Monitor 31khz.. then using CRT res-switcher or switch rez ,, whatever its called in the retroarch menu to drop it down to 240p @120khz .. or set it to native, but its a pain when switching back to ES, it just brakes into a black screen or ES will not switch back to is resolution 1024 x 768 I think.. I did mess with root/firmware to make my settings stick but it was never right , i was about 75% there and just gave up on it.. I mostly wanted to do it for Gamecube dreamcast and arcade games
Now that the Rasp-4 is here and it seems to have more power to run dreamcast mame , and n64 that would be my go too for gaming on a CRT via Composite .. thats if the new pi hardware will run at 240p like the old one did, then buy a VGA666 and a vga to component transcoder or maybe a RetroTink ultimate by Mike Chi for nice clean almost as good as RGB goodness.

If you wand to drive old TVs, you might be better off with a Raspberry Pi, a Composite Video cable (the Pi can do the really old stuff) and one of the ready-made images on the net for Arcade cabinets? All of the themes in Batocera are for HD displays - it is just a LOT of work to modify stuff for LoRes-Screens and there are solutions for this already on the net, especially for the Pi. Check Arcadepunks and other sites that have ready-made images.

Kugelblitz the CRT TV have a RCA cable, not a RGB. I have batocera set up and perfectly running on CRT monitor 800x600 i think, but when i connect to the cabinet i can't see the Os.
My other option Is to use Windows but that means longer boot time, now i'm under 40"

I would just move to Groovy Arcade...
Very fast boot, and I had fabulous success with it on 3 different ancient CRT monitors\TV. One was using RGB with BNC connectors and I used a standard VGA2RGB cable and minimal configuration.
